What the score is reading for KLAC
At the Friday 28 August close, KLAC scored 20, 31st of the 34 names here, and only one input sat above the board's median for it: volatility at +3.3. The other five were at or below where the typical name on this board was reading, so the score rested on that one component rather than on broad agreement between them. Pulling the other way was momentum at -11.4 — the day's move against the previous close.
Across the 20 sessions recorded since 30 July, KLAC has scored between 20 and 74, and that 20 sits near the bottom of that range. Net across the window it is down 24 points, and the largest single-session move was a fall of 33 points on 18 August.
